Independent adjusters

ICBC maintains a list of approved Independent Adjusters (IAs) who can assist with providing consistent, quality customer service based on their ability to meet business and qualification standards. The current list of approved IAs was last updated in August 2014 through a competitive bid process.

For crashes that occurred on or before April 30, 2021: use the forms on this page.

For crashes occurring on or after May 1, 2021: please contact the relevant claim representative to request the form(s) you need.

Submitting claim reports to ICBC

Submit reports and invoices through our online submission tool. Submissions through this application will be added to the claim immediately, and you can also:

Submit relevant reports, media files and invoices together for a claim
Submit files up to 2 GB each without the need to transfer it to a multi-media device

For invoicing, please use the Independent Adjuster invoice (CL315) when submitting through our online submission tool. For help with using this tool, see our tutorial video.

Where can I find my vendor number?

Your vendor number can be found on a cheque or statement that ICBC has issued to you. If you cannot find your vendor number, please submit documents via email.

Will I receive a confirmation email?

No confirmation email will be sent after your submission. However, you will see a confirmation page after you submit your documents. ICBC will contact you if there are any issues with your submission.

What if I can’t find the appropriate category for my document?

Please use the “Other” document category.

How do I follow up or report an issue on a submission?

To follow up on an invoice submission, please email [email protected] with the claim number and invoice number.

To follow up on any other document submission, please contact the claims representative.

Manual report and invoice submissions

If you're unable to submit your reports and invoices online, you can email them to [email protected] and they will be associated to the claim within 24 hours of receipt.

When emailing claim reports, supporting documents, and invoices, please take note of the following guidelines:

Only reports, supporting documents (i.e. statements, scene diagrams, etc.) and invoices are to be submitted to [email protected]. Please do not CC the ICBC claims representative.
All supporting document must be submitted as separate attachments in the same email containing the IA report. No other documents are to be submitted to this email address, including invoice reconciliation lists.
Enquiry emails are not managed by this mailbox and will be deleted. Please continue to send all enquiries to the ICBC claims representative.
Each email should only pertain to one claim.
Include the ICBC claim number and the claimant's first and last name in the email subject line.
IA reports, including photos, should be forwarded as one attachment. Please ensure any accompanying photos are embedded into the report document. Do not send photos as separate attachments. Due to a 25 megabyte file size restriction, ICBC suggests you scale the images to reduce their size.
Files must not be password protected.
Emailed drop box links and zip files are not acceptable.
Do not send reports/invoices previously submitted to ICBC. Duplicate reports/invoices will cause processing delays.
Individual invoices must be separate attachments. One PDF document containing multiple invoices is not acceptable.
The ICBC claims representative will continue to be your first point of contact for payment enquiries
